Chai from Twinings of LondonIts an okay chai, nothing special. Even after steeping it for 10+ minutes it isn't as strong/spicy as I would like. The flavors are definitely there but it's just not enoughThu, 23 Jan 2014 23:12:24 -0500/teas/Chai/29238-chai?note=218160
Pumpkin Spice Rooibos Herbal Blend from Trader Joe'sI bought this and it was gone in a matter of days- It's so good. When I saw this in the store I made absolutely no hesitation to snatch it up. When I got home I literally ran to my tea kettle, and I was not disappointed. The flavor is so bold and rich, the rooibos makes that much of a difference. This tea is perfectly spicy, everything works together!
And it smells amaaaazing. I felt like some kind of drug addict sniffing a can of tea so intensely.Thu, 23 Jan 2014 23:31:17 -0500/teas/Pumpkin%20Spice%20Rooibos%20Herbal%20Blend/40611-pumpkin-spice-rooibos-herbal-blend?note=218166
Earl Grey from TazoMeh. This tea seems very strong for some reason... it almost tastes bitter compared to other earl greys I've had. I don't really drink earl grey to begin with.
Leaves an unpleasant aftertaste as well, I avoid this teaSat, 25 Jan 2014 12:13:32 -0500/teas/Earl%20Grey/1169-earl-grey?note=218566

Spiced Chai from BigelowIn one word- Disgusting.
I simply can not fathom how awful this tea is. Something went horribly wrong here. I don't even know where to start, oh the fact that it tastes like drinking a cardboard box? It tastes artificial and weak even after literally leaving the tea bag in for hours. Sat, 25 Jan 2014 17:44:53 -0500/teas/Spiced%20Chai/3526-spiced-chai?note=218696
French Vanilla from BigelowI poured this straight down the drain. This is up there with some of the nastiest teas I've ever had. VERY bitter with that classic artificial tasting vanilla overpowering everything. I tried adding some sweetener but that just made the situation worse

Maple Tea from Canada TrueOverall I feel this doesn't taste as maple-y as it should. Maybe I've just been drinking too many herbal teas lately? I feel like there's this maple tree earthiness I'm missing out on. I definitely taste the black tea in there though, and its delicious! At one point I was addicted to this tea.Sat, 25 Jan 2014 21:53:44 -0500/teas/Maple%20Tea/14173-maple-tea?note=218769
French Vanilla Chai from TwiningsI'm in love with this tea. It's definitely not a strong chai by no means but the vanilla works unbelievably well for me. As soon as the water hits the teabag and the aroma wafts into my nose my eyes roll back into my head and I shiver in pure ecstasy. That split second moment right when the aroma of sweet french vanilla and exotic chai spices hits is worth dying for.
Sometimes I hover over it while its steeping and just breathe it in, it smells that good.
10 minutes later I add a gallon of honey and I have to fight the urge to drink it in one continuous gulp. Sat, 25 Jan 2014 22:15:13 -0500/teas/French%20Vanilla%20Chai/14805-french-vanilla-chai?note=218778

Lemon Tea from LiptonSo far this is one of my favorite lemon teas! So many other lemon flavored teas taste like floor-cleaner lemon. This doesn't have that chemical-y, artificialness to it.
It has this really bold, natural tasting lemon flavor that smells even better.
Be careful brewing this though... If you let the teabag steep for too long it gets really bitter and the lemon flavor is destroyedSat, 25 Jan 2014 23:00:03 -0500/teas/Lemon%20Tea/17313-lemon-tea?note=218788
Refresh (Filter bag version) from TazoI’m obsessed with mint tea, and this is my all time favorite. Nothing even comes close, the minty-ness is simply outstanding. Its really strong but it still tastes so fresh and wonderful!
I always have a stash of this at home, this tea is now and always will be a necessity.Sun, 26 Jan 2014 02:37:41 -0500/teas/Refresh%20(Filter%20bag%20version)/2180-refresh-filter-bag-version?note=218837
Black Tea with Lemon (Lemon Twist) from TwiningsOkay, I'm having mixed feelings about this tea. I just brewed a cup and steeped it for about 4 minutes.
It smelled like a cleaning product.
Then I added some honey thinking it might taste better- hell no. Now it tastes like sweetened pledge lemon wipes.
Then out of curiosity I added some milk- WOW!! Huge difference, it's almost ridiculous. Now it almost tastes like a very smooth earl grey. I can see myself drinking this if I'm in the mood for something creamy and lemony, it's wonderful.
This is one of those teas that REQUIRES milk. Sun, 26 Jan 2014 12:36:29 -0500/teas/Black%20Tea%20with%20Lemon%20(Lemon%20Twist)/609-black-tea-with-lemon-lemon-twist?note=218905

I Love Lemon from BigelowOOOOO!! I looove this tea! It's perfection in a cup. Lemony lemon flavor that isn't too floor cleaner-y or soapy. This has found a permanent spot in my stash. Mon, 17 Mar 2014 19:17:03 -0400/teas/I%20Love%20Lemon/3139-i-love-lemon?note=232270
Sweet Cinnamon Spice from TazoAs soon as I smelled this teabag, I knew I was in for something serious. The smell alone is worth the purchase honestly. I make the extra effort of nearly breathing in the teabag every time I brew this. It's not so much spicy, but very flavorful and tasty. All the components work so well together!Wed, 01 Oct 2014 17:51:11 -0400/teas/Sweet%20Cinnamon%20Spice/5451-sweet-cinnamon-spice?note=266750
